Rhodes Climate & Weather

Rhodes Climate and Weather

The Rhodes climate ensures hot, dry weather in summer and mild
winters. Temperatures in July and August, the hottest months and
peak tourist season, range from 82ºF (28ºC) during the
day to 72ºF (22ºC) at night, which is a bit cooler than
some of the Greek islands, although still quite hot enough!
Rainfall is almost non-existent in summer but showers can be
expected between October and March. Despite the heat being somewhat
oppressive by some standards summer remains the most popular time
to visit Rhodes and during June, July and August the island is
packed full of tourists with prices escalating accordingly. The
lure of summer in Greece is obvious but for those who would prefer
not to get caught in the crowds the best time to visit is in spring
or autumn. Late spring, May, is particularly lovely on the islands
with most of the benefits of summer and fewer disadvantages; by May
the sea is getting warm, there are fewer people, and Rhodes is as
lush as it gets. Early autumn, September, is also a great time to
visit Rhodes because it is warm without being swelteringly hot, the
water is almost as balmy as during summer, and most of the tourists
have left.
